Sen #RandPaul of Kentucky was the lone #Republican sponsor of the resolution. But 3 other GOP senators who have expressed unease about the potential economic consequences of #Trump’s trade measures joined him in support: #SusanCollins of Maine, #LisaMurkowski of Alaska & #MitchMcConnell of KY.
Most #Republicans stood up to applaud #Trump’s announcement that he would impose reciprocal #tariffs on April 2, but several remained seated, including Sens #LisaMurkowski (Alaska), #SusanCollins (Maine) & #RogerWicker (Mississippi).
I don’t care if they sit or stand. I want them to vote for the US interests & stop kowtowing to Trump.

#LisaMurkowski stellt sich gegen Trumps Ukraine-Kurs
Heftige Kritik am Parteikollegen: Die Annäherung von US-Präsident Trump an Kremlchef Putin sei gefährlich, findet die Republikanerin Lisa Murkowski. Und bei seinem Umgang mit der Ukraine werde ihr »übel«.
“Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) delivered a scorching rebuke Saturday of President Donald Trump’s explosive exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a rare voice of Republican dissent as party members lined up in support of the president’s increasingly combative relationship with Ukraine,” Politico reports.
